: The study was centrally approved by the Ethics Committee of the Ludwig Maximilians University LMU, Munich (689-15), as the leading ethics committee. Further approval was obtained from local ethics committees or institutional review boards according to local regulations. The study was conducted in accordance with the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments.
: An informed consent was not mandatory in accordance with the institutional review board approval, because no study-specific procedures were performed and data sampling from patients undergoing ET is already mandated by national law for quality control reasons.
